About: I've taken care of friends, family and neighbors animals since I was about 12. Feeding, water, play. I'm more familiar with dogs and cats but I can also take care of other pets you might have including fish, hamsters and even chickens! Whether you have 1 pet or 3, need overnight care or just a walk, your pets are in great hands! I just graduated college, so this is one of the few small jobs in doing at the moment. I have gaps throughout the day, so Rover is perfect for drop ins and house sitting! I will follow the rules you have set for your household. I can crate dogs and keep them off furniture. And for those silly routines they have, I'm more than happy to give them a treat when they come back inside, say a release word for meals or stop to sniff every single tree on their walk.
“Erika had to be the best dog walker I’ve ever had. I would honestly, never want to use anyone else. I had a trip out of town that ended up having multiple flight delays and cancellations. I ended up having to extend the care last minute — she graciously worked with me on a moments notice. She was very polite and charismatic at meet and greet, took phenomenal care of Athena, was constantly quick to respond, kept me updated, sent photos, had full flexibility. She also helped work through any logistic issues efficiently and empathetically. My electronic lock to front door broke due to battery and she was at leasing office first thing, handling the situation for me. She made sure it was fixed and reassured me through my travels. She took my trash out. Left a thank you card. From start to finish she went above and beyond. It honestly felt like she treated my dog and home as her own, which is rare to find in sitters. Tremendous dog care provider. Would highly, highly recommend.”
“First would like to say great app it was my first time ever using an application like this. Second, Jennifer was great with zoro as a new puppy he is a handful, but Jennifer was able to walk and play with zoro. She was even able to clean his mess and provide water for zoro.”
About: I’ve mainly taken care of my own, and close family cats and dogs, but in the recent year or two I’ve helped my friend who uses rover walk dogs. I currently have full availability, which allows me to accommodate last-minute bookings, recurring schedules, weekends, holidays, and extended stays. I'm flexible, dependable, and committed to providing reliable, attentive care whenever your pet needs me. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and maintain a calm, secure environment. My sister has a cat who is not comfortable around unfamiliar cats, so I am unable to host cats in my home. However, I am happy to provide care for dogs or care for cats in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I will always follow your pet's routine, provide regular updates, and treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own.
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting since I was a teenager. In this house we have fur babies, not pets and we take getting our daily dose of fresh air seriously. Our home is a safe and fun place for your babies to play and relax just as they would in their home. Currently my schedule is very flexible; let me know your needs and I’ll do my absolute best to meet them! I care for my pets every day and have no problem ensuring yours are cared for too! I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood, have a fenced in back yard, and walking distance from a dog park. Tell me what works best for your dog (how many walks a day and when, any quirky habits, what works best for feeding) any thing that will help me care for your baby as I care for mine.
About: I've been taking care of pets since elementary school, starting with helping neighbors. I have a natural affinity with all animals and am known for my patience in understanding and addressing their unique needs. I have my own dog, whom I've been caring for over the past nine years. Additionally, I've frequently looked after family members' dogs during their vacations or whenever they needed a sitter. My experience, combined with my genuine love for animals, ensures that every pet in my care receives the utmost attention and affection. I am currently available from 6 am until 11 pm for all your pets needs. I do have flexibility in my schedule so if anything needs to be discussed I am definitely open to that! In my home, pets enjoy a comfortable, clean, and supervised environment. I maintain a regular routine for feeding, exercise, and rest to keep them happy and healthy. I have a secure backyard for safe outdoor play and regular walks to keep them active and stimulated. When caring for pets in my client's home, I adhere strictly to the provided care instructions and routines. I maintain open communication with the owners, providing regular updates and photos to reassure them that their pets are well taken care of. I am vigilant about home security, ensuring all doors and gates are properly closed and locked. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners, building a bond of trust and ensuring every pet feels loved and secure in my care.
“John and Jess have been amazing! They’re very attentive to my animals and took the dogs on long walks. They have made sure all their needs were taken care of and have kept me informed of everything. Highly recommended!!”
About: HAWKINS DOES NOT LIVE WITH ME FULL TIME, HE LIVES WITH MY FATHER :) I've been a dog lover since childhood! I've been watching, walking and giving lots of love to my own dog (Hawkins) for about 3 years now! However, I was asked to walk and check-in on dogs several times in my complex and neighborhood! This happens especially in my family, as a lot of my family members have one or more dogs they ask me to take care of when they go out of town, or just need a break! I've been caring for a diverse range of breeds, from a Shih Tzu to a Golden Retriever since I was basically 10 years old! I love to work, play with dogs, and save to pay off my student loans! I'll have some availability on the weekends when I don't have class, usually starting around 12pm! There are plenty trails, parks and squares around Maryland, which will provide your dog plenty of room for extra exercise, plenty of playing, and exploring! I will happily take your dog for long walks, play with them however your living space will allow, and play with them as long as you are comfortable with in the parks!
“David did a great job with our dog and house. His prices were fair. His communications were timely. He was kind, respectful and professional. We're planning on using him again for the next dog walking job.”
“Ava was absolutely fantastic! She was reliable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From the very beginning, she was communicative, punctual, and made me feel completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. She went above and beyond by making sure my dog got plenty of exercise and attention. I highly recommend Ava to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog walker. I'll definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Ava, for taking such wonderful care of my pup!”
About: Cats, dogs, critters and reptiles welcome! I have a wide experience of cats and dogs of all ages, from babies to seniors. Rodents, lizards, turtles are also something I’m familiar with! I’ve always had pets in my house growing up. I’ve fostered kittens and volunteered at local animal shelters. I have experienced bottle feedings, house breaking, and senior dogs and handle them all with ease and love. I am currently running my family business and spend most of my weekdays day at home. This allows my weekdays to have flexibility and availability to pet parents who work during the day. My home is located in downtown Frederick and I also have a fenced in backyard. I can easily get to many areas of Frederick quickly and with ease. My pets at home are friendly and welcome guests! We have fostered cats and often have other dogs visit.

Daphine did a great job with my 85 lb Goldendoodle. My dog is a "handful" but Daphine was skilled enough to gain his trust, encourage him into the leash and on a fun walk (in the rain!). My dog was super happy afterward and seemed to really enjoy being with Daphine. We'll definitely use her services in the future.
Ava was absolutely fantastic! She was reliable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From the very beginning, she was communicative, punctual, and made me feel completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. She went above and beyond by making sure my dog got plenty of exercise and attention. I highly recommend Ava to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog walker. I'll definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Ava, for taking such wonderful care of my pup!
Simply a fantastic dog walker! She was available for my last minute request. Not only did Ashley walk my dog she also did extra, added more food, stimulated my dogs mind with a brain puzzle food game, changed her water and even made sure my fur baby didn't mess the floor. I am beyond satisfied. She was very caring, respectful and just overall trustworthy and on time. I would definitely recommend Ashley to anyone in need.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Akers Acres. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Akers Acres.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Akers Acres. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
